Zinédine Zidane, the newly appointed head coach of the French national football team, has raised concerns about the current lack of quality in the full-back position during a recent squad gathering. According to L'Équipe, Zidane has asked the National Technical Directorate of the French Football Federation, through Hubert Fournier, to take action in finding solutions to this problem. He has also spoken with Gérald Baticle, coach of the Under-21 team, and Bernard Diomède, coach of the Under-20 team, asking them to focus on developing new players who can fill this role effectively. During the international break, France played several matches, including a 1-0 win over Belgium on Belgian soil, with a goal from Michael Olise in the final moments of the game. Zidane described the overall experience as positive, praising the team's mindset and the time spent working with the players, while also acknowledging that achieving success would take time. In addition to the trials during the gathering, Zidane was encouraged by the performances of Pierre Kalulu and Adrien Truffert, who played on the right and left flanks, respectively. Kalulu is currently with Juventus Turin, while Truffert plays for Bournemouth. Although they did not stand out, their performances were deemed serious and promising by the French coaching staff. Christian Mawissa and Ismaëlo Ganiou, who have primarily played in central positions for AS Monaco and RC Lens, respectively, have shown potential in the full-back role during this international break with the Under-21 team. Dayann Méthalie and Ismaëlo Ganiou, who have been used on one side with the Under-21s, could be options for the future. Adrien Truffert, in particular, caught Zidane's attention during the gathering, highlighting the potential of younger players in this crucial position.
